What you'll learn

How to mentally prepare before an interview

How to listen, respond, and ask better questions

Stay present, read signals, and ask thoughtful questions that build trust and guide the conversation.

How to handle progress, pauses, and rejection

Why this topic matters

Interviews in 2026 test judgment, composure, and self-leadership as much as skills. Learning to manage emotions before, during, and after interviews helps you show up clearly, think under pressure, and recover faster from setbacks. Over time, this builds confidence, consistency, and the resilience needed to turn strong conversations into offers.

Brandon Wan

FinTech PM, 3x Founder, 200+ Coached

Brandon has nearly two decades of experience building and leading products in fintech and payments, with roles at PayPal, WooCommerce, Visa, and Affirm. He has led 0→1 launches, scaled products to revenue, and partnered closely with recruiters and hiring managers at fast-growing teams. Across his career, he has interviewed, hired, and coached 200+ professionals.

He is also a 3x founder, which shaped how he thinks about ownership, tradeoffs, and clear communication when stakes are high.

After navigating his own job search in 2024, Brandon saw how confusing and draining modern interviews had become, even for strong candidates. That gap led him to design skill-focused, practice-heavy courses built for today’s hiring market.
